Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8 , a metastable gold/cadmium selenide core-shell structure is formed at the Au surface. Due to the crystal lattice of gold and the crystal lattice of cadmium selenide have a large mismatch, which may enable cadmium selenide to no longer coat the gold nanoparticle, but be distributed to one side or both sides of the gold, after the annealing, because of the surface tension of the crystal of cadmium selenide, the gold/cadmium selenide Janus composite nanoparticle structure is formed.
